Owen's Birthday is Under Construction

My baby turned 2 yesterday! Since he is really in to cars, trucks and tools we decided to have a construction themed party for him at the local elementary school playground. It was super fun, but super cold!!

The invitations were a simple printout backed with duct tape and I made brown paper bag envelopes. I spent next to nothing on these since I had all of the materials at home (you'll notice that that was the case with most of my decorations for the party. You don't need a lot of money to have a cute party.)

How very cute! Happy Birthday, Owen! The pictures of them eating the "cake" was so cute. The # of kids equal to the child's age is such a good rule of thumb. And sometimes it even depends on the child's preference: Mason only wanted to have 3 friends over for his recent 6th birthday (of course, his 2 sisters were there, too.This was such a clever idea for your theme!

I love to collect ideas, and I love the simple things that make life so much fun! It gives me pleasure to help those around me tap into their creative sides to make something beautiful or discover their passions. I am not talented on my own. I was created in the image of a creative God and He has graciously given me every ounce of inspiration. My blog is a resource to bring Him glory. ~John 15:5~
